How To Make buttermilk fudge candy

  • Step 1
    Add soda to buttermilk and let stand for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a buttered pan or dish.
  • Step 2
    Add sugar and syrup to buttermilk mixture and cook until it reaches the soft ball stage or 238 degrees.
  • Step 3
    Remove from heat and cool until lukewarm. Add vanilla and nuts and beat until it begins to thicken; it will lose glossy appearance and hold shape well. Quickly pour into buttered pan or dish.
  • Step 4
    Cut into squares when firm and cool.
